Re: [bloggerDev] OAuth Proxy with Blogger Gadgets

Aratina,

I'm currently learning this area as well, and I don't have any answers yet.

An interesting point to note, however, is that you aren't limited to just opensocial-0.8. If you point blogger designer in the direction of the feature inspector gadget - https://github.com/xing/feature-inspector-gadget - you'll see that it supports a fair chunk of OpenSocial. (Just don't use github's hosted version directly.)

I have been attempting to use the OAuth proxy with my Blogger gadget
and also with many of the example gadgets that use the OAuth proxy in
the various help files, but I can't seem to get OAuth to work on my
Blogger blog. The examples I have tested all seem to work on iGoogle,
but once I load them onto my blog, the authentication process fails
completely.

For example, this neat little gadget by Eric Bidelmen (
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/gdata_gadgets.html ) works
just fine with iGoogle and allows you to make a new post to your
private blog from iGoogle quite easily, but when I bring it onto the
blog itself as a gadget in the sidebar or footer areas, it always gets
back an unauthenticated response object with no contents after it
tries to fetch the feed of all the blogs I own using the OAuth proxy.

I don't see anything in the XML file (which you can download from the
link above) that stands out as not compatible with Blogger (it
requires opensocial-0.8 and loads old but working jQuery and gdata
libraries, and declares the correct the Blogger scope for OAuth,
"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/"), so I'm confused as to why it doesn't
work. Does anyone have any ideas as to why OAuth does not work on
Blogger blogs but does work from iGoogle?
